What are the real numbers for Obamacare?

The “president” announces on April 1st, that the number of people signed up for the ObamaCare at the end of March 31st was 7.1 million. Is this a fact? Really? He has lied so much about so many of other things, do you honestly think this is correct and not a figure pulled out of thin air? And, up until April 1 all the word from the White House was “we aren’t able to provide any figures regarding the number of “sign-ups.” Only the day before the announcement, the claim was 6 million sign-ups. Of course, “cooking the books” is SOP with this administration.

The big question is: How many of these so called 7.1 million are the coveted young and healthy, who are expected to pay for the old and unhealthy? For that matter, how may had to sign up because their original policies were (deliberately) cancelled, policies they probably liked? A detail that escapes the fork-fed press is the mediocre ObamaCare website was apparently launched without a payment function, and it may very well still lack that function.

One can only wonder where the stupefying $600 million dollar cost of building the website went.

The main problem with this “law” has been “overlooked” by the so-called Press – and by Republicans. The rotten secret of ObamaCare is that we’re looking at enormously degraded quality of health care, not far down the road.
